Playing the press, and free range dumb-asses!

It’s possible that Quigg suddenly changed his position. He told The Independent he couldn’t “reveal sources” for his Clinton conspiracy theory. Considering that his white nationalist, white supremacist views are consistent with those who have shown support for Trump, Levin said such a change of heart is extremely unlikely.
“The support that existed for Trump is so overwhelming with folks in that world,” Levin added. “I’ve never seen anything like this kind of support Trump is getting in my decades-long career of monitoring extremism.”

Some news outlets seem to be obliging, suggesting Quigg’s endorsement means Clinton has her own KKK problem.
There’s nothing similar about these storylines. On one side, white supremacists are endorsing a candidate because the things he stands for are ideologically in line with their beliefs. On the other, a KKK leader is endorsing a candidate because he claims she doesn’t actually stand against his brand of hate.
To treat that as serious or significant is silly. Whatever you think of Clinton, she would not be an ally to the Ku Klux Klan as president. It would be like The Huffington Post officially endorsing Trump in the belief that he’d actually be a truth-telling, bridge-building ally to people of color and feminists, and would champion empathy and religious inclusion — the exact opposite of what he’s made himself out to be.
